Weakest Occupation “Blacksmith” Become The Strongest

I was meeting Mr. Krua at a nearby store.

... Since today was my holiday, does that mean you want me to make new furniture?

Waiting for me to think about that, Mr. Krua came this way.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Relius. Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No, I'm not waiting for anything... so should I make new furniture from now on?"

"Yes, no, that's okay! I still have the last one left!"

Mr. Krua shakes his head in a hurry.

"Really..."

Mr. Krua said it was selling pretty well, but maybe it was a lie not to hurt me.

Nothing, I'm not a furniture specialist, but it was still a little sad that what I made would not be appreciated.

It's just that even if the craftsmen on that road work hard, they'll still sell it.

There's no way a person like me would do that well.

"Everything Mr. Lelius made is highly regarded."

Apparently, it was on my face.

Mr Krua said something that would cheer me up.

"... Really?"

"We're selling tea!... I'm just selling it to a certain extent to see how it goes because, as we talked about before, even if it circulates too much, the price drops. So, I brought Mr. Lelius a reward today."

That's how Mr. Krua has shown me a piece of paper.

There are amazing pieces of furniture I made, and it says how many pieces I sold and how much I paid.

Amounts vary depending on the item.

"My teacher is letting me put the product in the corner of the store where I have it. And then some of them I sold directly."

"It's not free to let them put it in the store, is it?"

"Er... well yes"

"If that's the case, you can have half the amount?"

The paper she had shown didn't look like there was any store bill in it.

"No, because that's what I did on my own."

"But it is thanks to Mr. Krua that I am able to work as an artisan. I can't thank you enough for that."

My reward was roughly equivalent to three gold coins.

It is said that an adult needs roughly five gold coins to live for a month without difficulty.

I mean, the amount I work at the inn was roughly three pieces of gold.

Conversely, Mr. Krua's reward would be good and worth one gold coin.

If I were to pay for renting a store from there, I couldn't help but be anxious to live this month.

"No... but..."

"In the meantime, I ask that we pay each other until we stabilize. If anything happens to Mr. Krua, I don't like it."

I don't even have any money in my pocket anymore.

When that happens, it all goes to waste.

When he complained with serious eyes, Mr. Krua tied his lips tight.

"... ok. I'll pay you back when I can make more money."

"Okay."

It would be better if I told you this, Mr Kulua would honestly accept it.

I received my reward gold and paper and saw her.

"Mr. Krua, is there anything else you need besides furniture?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"No, I have a lot to make."

To my words, Mr. Krua opened his eyes.

"Or can you make anything but furniture?!?"

"Yes, well, I'm a blacksmith."

"Well, speaking of which, you did...... but can a blacksmith do anything that much?"

"You're best at making weapons. However, you can also make accessories, protective equipment, potions, etc."

"Po, is that Po Po Potion!?"

"Yes."

"Is it possible to make that potion just by magic...?"

"You can."

Mr. Krua opened his mouth and then moved his face closer to me.

"Now the potion is interacting at a very high price because you don't get much heel grass, which is the material of the potion...... did you know?"

"You didn't know"

"So if you can mass produce a potion, you can just sell it for a considerable amount of money"

"... I see"

"Besides, potions are something anyone adventurer has. So you don't have to let me through, which is a merchant?"

"Which means I can ask the Alliance to buy it directly, right?"

"Yes."

If I'm just making money, I'd better.

However, the same as Mr. Krua rents and sells the store, the forward investment is important.

When it comes to the upfront investment I can make in Mr. Krua, it's about giving her visibility.

"Then I have a good idea. May I have your help?"

"… good idea, is it?"

"Yes, let's move the place once"

I just had the only drink I was ordering, and we left the store.

"May I go to Mr. Krua's warehouse?"

"Yes, I'm fine"

I also got her permission, so I'm headed to the warehouse.

There was a surprising line of chairs and tables in the warehouse. Cloth is applied so as not to wear dust.

For one thing, I left a box in the corner of the warehouse.

There, we use magic to create massive potions.

"Ko, this...... Huh! In such a flash!"

Looking at the potion that was in the box, Mr. Krua looks open to surprise.

These are all potions created by magic, but the effects are the same as the regular ones.

"How about that?"

"... it's too awesome! And this potion, it all seems to be of considerable quality!"

Well, most of them were above B-rank,

I took out the artifact and at the same time prepared one potion on my left hand.

When I hammered it, the potion was scattered and the herb, the material, was recovered.

I'll take the herb out and give it to Mr. Krua.

"Did the potion made earlier by Mr. Lelius become the material?"

"Yes, if you destroy it with a hammer, it's possible to retrieve what I've created back into the material."

"... that's too much. You mean you can do a lot of things from nothing!?"

That's what happens.

However, weapons and protective equipment really need demon stones.

They were hunting demons because they could not be created from complete nothing.

If you can afford gold, you can buy Demon Stone.

But I probably won't because I like to move my body.

"Mr. Relius. It's too much power, so should I hide it?"

"... Really?"

"That's right! They'll kill you!"

... I don't like that.

Mr. Krua really coughed up,

"... Anyway, I found that the material could be recovered. Are you sure Mr. Lelius wants to sell these too?"

"Right. However, I would like you to tell the Alliance that we have secured a route where we can prepare materials and potions only this time."

"... from me, is it?"

"Yes, that would boost Mr. Krua's character as a merchant, wouldn't it?"

Mr. Krua opened his eyes all the way to my words.

"... No way, you were already thinking that far"

"It just so happens, I just figured it out. Can you?"

"... ok. Thank you."

Mr. Krua bows his head.

Now, if Mr. Krua gets famous, he'll sell what I made too.

This is an upfront investment for that matter.

Mr. Krua and I broke up. I'm going back to the inn.

... the first money my parents got from a job they weren't involved in.

In the meantime, shall I take my parents to dinner?

I talked to the part-time workers and asked them to make a fine day away from the inn, and I had dinner for both of them.
